MEDIA, please make these connections:

(1) Cohen met Mueller's team—7 times—for many hours.
(2) Based on cooperation deal, Mueller believes Cohen now.
(3) Cohen says Stone was Trump-WikiLeaks intermediary.
(4) Mueller is charging Stone with crimes.
(5) Russia probe far from over.
(6) If Cohen by *chance* overheard one Trump-Stone call about WikiLeaks, Mueller must believe many such calls actually happened.
(7) Mueller's charging of Stone gives him a chance to squeeze Stone to talk.
(8) If Stone admits to being Trump-WikiLeaks intermediary, it's collusion.
(9) Mueller therefore has *just* initiated a prosecution he credibly believes will lead to collusion.
(10) Media statements that Cohen "threw cold water" on collusion are therefore 180 degrees from the truth.
(Conclusion) Media statements that probe is almost over are also wrong.

But @AlanDersh, you know as I do—as it's been widely reported—that there will be no release of a "Final Mueller Report" as your book falsely advertises, let alone by March 26 as it falsely advertises. AG Barr will offer a brief summary to Congress—possibly with redacted excerpts.
@AlanDersh I have no issue, @AlanDersh—as you know from my tweets—with anyone writing an intro to a public report. I'm saying that you're selling, for money, a product that doesn't and won't exist in the form it's being advertised—and has a fake release date attached to it to entice buyers.
And I'm saying, @AlanDersh, that your book uses the DOJ Seal in a way that misrepresents the book and may be illegal, and that the DOJ is falsely listed as a co-author. I'm saying you're selling—at best—a brief (short story-length) summary of the document you say you're selling.

I'm willing to accept Rep. Omar doesn't appreciate the difference between saying some Jews advocate for strong US support of Israel (not anti-Semitic) and saying some Jews push for "allegiance to a foreign country" (anti-Semitic, and has been a long time). thehill.com/homenews/house…
As a straight white guy—albeit someone who, like many Jews, grew up erroneously being told by his peers that he was nonwhite—I've had to learn so much I didn't understand about those with different backgrounds/experiences. I think it's OK to say Rep. Omar has things to learn too.
Remember when anti-Catholic bigots across America said, in 1960, that you couldn't elect a Catholic (Kennedy) because his "allegiances" as president would be divided (Pope and America)? Then you understand this situation perfectly fine, and why the same trope now is anti-Semitic.

On 4 occasions Cohen said, under oath, that "the job he wanted" (and got) was being personal attorney for the President of the United States. @PreetBharara, you've here retweeted a tweet that falsely says "Cohen denied aspiring to work for Trump during testimony before Congress."
1/ Words matter—especially to lawyers. @dcexaminer *could've* said "Cohen denied aspiring to work for [the] Trump [administration] during testimony before Congress," but that might not have gotten notice from @PreetBharara—as it would've been too nuanced to make sufficient waves.
2/ I and many others—indeed a majority of those polled in the most recent public polling—found Cohen credible in part because a *lawyer* saying (in paraphrase) "I wanted to be the president's personal attorney rather than work in the White House Counsel's Office" makes *sense*.

Now, I'm not saying Trump is currently heading to the Middle East to visit troops. BUT...

There's been some interesting aircraft movements the last couple of days. Some I've already tweeted... And a VC-25A has been reported over the UK earlier today.

Watch this space! 😌
Reported over the UK earlier today. Callsign & unknown hex confirmed on my own receiver logs. 👇

'RCH358' VC-25 USAF - over Yorkshire - taken from Chapeltown South Yorks Boxing Day 2018

RCH358 left Joint Base Andrews around 0500 UTC & pinged up on my own receiver here in the UK around 1100 UTC. 🤔

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

1) This is my #Qanon thread for April 19th
Q posts can be found here: qanon.pub

Today is the anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord.

My theme for this series: "War is Real."
2) An anon posted an article about the death of H.R. McMaster's father. (McMaster was Trump's National Security Adviser.) The death is being investigated as a possible case of neglect.
#Qanon
3) #Qanon suggested the death was retaliation against McMaster for failing to hold his position. The implication is that he was useful to the deep state and now that John Bolton is in that position, they've lost their advantage.
